Banded

One of the many very empty rooms, with a splash of color.

Reminds me of those generic cups from the 70s (I could be wrong on the time frame) with the orange swirls and such.

I also thought of the 70s when I saw this. Any ideas as to what the room was used for?

I love the brightness it gives the room. Beats Pepto Pink and that horrid green!

Is this the cafe-gyma-torium? Yes, the orange lines look like 1970's art don't they?

A splash of color, LOL Mr. Motts! Like Michelle said, I feel like I should be roller skating...perhaps while wearing an old Astro's jersey? ;-D

Clearly crafted by someone more skilled in the art of poop smearing.

YEAH...roller-rink! That is EXACTLY what I thought of too.

Welcome back to the 80s people...as if living through them once wasn't bad enough lol. :)

Wow. Talk about major flash-back. I am going to put a ton of hairspray in my hair now, and put 80s clothes on and rock out to Def Leppard and Madonna now. :D

Shades of Peter Max! His influences are in many things from the late 60s into the early 80s, including these wall graphics. Anyone remember the Peter Max psychedelic book covers that Burger King gave away? Put his name into google image search to see much coolness.

LOL Joe...THAT brought back memories BIG TIME. :D

I remember couples skate...I always had to sit on the sidelines with the rest of the nerds, freaks, and nobodies (I was all three yikes) and feel so left out, stared at, and just out of place.

Thanks for that...is therapy over now. :D :D

Funny you mention it, einafets, because that was the first thing that came to my mind too. Generic cups from the 70s/early-80s.

Someone spent a lot of time painting all that only to be left to rot. I find that the saddest part of all. . .
